Adela (House Of Bernarda Alba)

Adela (House Of Bernarda Alba)

Grosso modo, the story continues this way:
Quietly, one day the daughters are sitting embroidering , until Angustias rushes furiously back into the room. Someone has taken her picture of Pepe from under her pillow. Bernarda, hearing the commotion, enters and demands to be told which sister is the thief. Strangely, it is Martirio who has hidden it in her bed, a joke on her sister, she says. Adela is enraged with jealousy and even tells Angustias that Pepe only wants her for her money. Bernarda, after attempting to hit Martirio, screeches at them to stop and orders them away. She is obeyed as usual.
Later, Poncia, the maid, tries to warn Bernarda that Pepe is the cause of all the troubles in the house and must be married quickly. Bernarda refuses to accept this. Poncia tells her he is really Adela’s sweetheart and asks that they marry. Again Bernarda dismisses her suggestion. Angustias returns and in talking, the three realize that Pepe has been leaving Angustias at one, but not leaving the house till four in the morning. It is Adela he is with, as only Poncia knows.
Only three days remain till Angustias and Pepe are to marry. She expresses her worry to Bernarda that he seems distracted. Her mother advises her to ask him nothing and say less, and to never let him see her cry. Angustias is unhappy but cannot fathom why. Later, the women have a quiet evening, quite peaceful and Pepe is not expected _ he´s supposed to be away on a trip. But, as people begin to settle for the night, Adela slips out to the corral (stable) in order to meet Pepe again.

Main scene is an original cinema4D render; just blended a bit of a wall layer in postwork.

    Esa visión extraordinaria….inexorable presencia del tiempo que carga cada grano de arena hacia lo que se va.. cómo si fueran los segundos de “no vida” que se concede a Adela y sus hermanas… celos y envidia, maquinaciones de bruja indeseable, pero sumamente humana….todo aquello que queda en las Sombra del alma.
    Me encanta el tratamiento claustrofóbico de “hogar desértico”.. de “invierno estéril” que acoge estas mujeres.. El cabello de Adela erizado , representa la exacerbación del pensamiento, de la obsesión que en vez de ser física, dolorosa, trata de escapar con engaños, calumnias, intentos de modificar la realidad para satisfacer su antojo…rebeldía de un alma intrínsicamente demoníaca, pero altamente activa, donde los acontecimientos pueden desarrollarse, porque engatusa, desvía, atrae…maneja los hilos de su personal teatrillo de marionetas. Ese es sólo su poder… y su cabello lo expresa.

    Te envío esta reseña del periódico español “El País”....en donde anuncian una nuevo montaje de La Casa….. tres grandes de la escena española… seguro que Nuria Espert te suena… participarán…Es muy interesante….mucho. Sardá es una gran mujer, involucrada en el “alma de izquierdas” de los actores españoles.. Nuria es internacionalmente conocida y la mujer que más sabe y ha actuado y vivido el mundo Lorquiano.. Y Pascual es un hombre reconocido por su profesionalidad y gran cualidad cómo director.
    aquí va La Casa De Bernarda…....vuelve

    Se me ocurre… que cuando tengas toda la serie montada.. podrías hacer un collage hermoso…y enviarlo a los directores de escena…También me encantaría ver una obra tuya representando todo el libreto.. cómo una gran epopeya…. sé que es complicado porque hay mchos personajes, pero estoy segura de que cuando hayas completado uno a uno todos…. la imagen vendrá a la cabeza, cómo un una coral…..
    Un abrazo…. estás realmente contribuyendo a elevar el nivel cultural de este sitio….eso es bueno…además de presentar algo lleno de imaginación y estéticamente precioso.

    Es muy, pero muy halagador tu comentario, Rosa. Ya leí la nota sobre la reposición de Bernarda; cuánto me gustaría poder ir hasta allá para ver a esos monstruos recreando la obra. Claro que me suenan las actrices, sobre todo la Espert, aunque solo la vi trabajando en una pelicula de los 90, creo que se llama “actrices” o algo así.
    No te había respondido tu exhortación de enviar estas cosas a la gente de teatro; sucede que aquí no conozco a nadie del medio, y no se trabaja el teatro a gran escala; en Bogotá, la capital sí. Ya veremos.
    Pero sí me ha sonado lo de hacer lo mismo con alguna obra mía. Incluso, una que nunca pude llevar a la pantalla grande_ aunque sí hice una versión limitada para la TV. Se llama “Transición” y tiene un corte muy sicológico. Gracias por el gran aliento, y por seguir de cerca estas cositas mías. Un abrazo muy grande.
